Footnotes

First edition of an important landmark in the development of classical scholarship, written by Poliziano (1454-1494) and dedicated to Lorenzo de' Medici. The Miscellanea is a comentary on one hundred significant Latin and Greek texts. The lay-out showed a modern clarity of thought, with the Preface followed by a list of authors consulted (under categories such as medicine, mathematics, philosophy), and the Contents.

This copy lacks the Emendationes, which are also missing from the British Library copies, BMC suggesting that they were "perhaps printed as an afterthought".
